I'll try this. But would prefer to automate. Thanks. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

About 60 gallons of rodi. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

I know of 3 degassing methods, none of which are cheap. 1, bubble helium through water, 2, put water under vacuum, 3, membrane degasser, Is there another way to delays that im not thinking of? Thanks Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Thanks, I'm running 1 sediment and 2 carbon prior to the 2 RO membranes, forgot to add that detail. Wish my resin lasted that long. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

My incoming TDS is about 250, RO membrane takes it down to 2-3, but a brs canister of DI media only lasts a month before im getting 2-3 TDS out of the DI again. Don't see anything funny on a ICP analysis, so how long should it last and what can I do better? System has 2 x 75 gpd membranes, auto...

Agreed, my point is that I don't trust the Neptune standard, as it has no traceability. I'd like to find a tracable standard to compare. As I mentioned, this is an academic exercise, as I'm a chemist. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a good source for a NIST tracable seawater standard? I've recently installed a neptune trident, and the reported values after calibration are very different from my hanna checkers. The hanna checkers have been tested against the hanna standards and are in range for the test...

Does anyone have an auto flush valve that operates off of a tds reading? I'd like to have my system auto flush intelligently. ie, flush until tds drops to a certain level. Thanks Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

How many gallons do most of you get from a single canister of di resin? I have a brs 6 stage RO system, 150 GPD water saver, with booster pump and 500 mL/min auto flush. Tank is 46 gallon, and evaporates 4 gal per day which is replaced by ato. 15 gal water change every two weeks. So, I go...

What is the groups opinion on one vs the other of these? BRS has a video claiming the phosphorus checker is better, but needs a conversion factor to phosphate. Neptune apex does the conversion automatically, so that's negligible. My phosphate checker broke (fell and cracked) and I have...

Wondering if anyone in the western burbs has a blue velvet nudibranch that needs to be fed. I've had a flatworm infestation that I can't kill off. I've been trying flatworm exit and it seems to work but they keep coming back. Maybe a naturAl predator will get rid of them? If someone has a...

Hi, I have a reef octopus 110 int skimmer that uses an aqua trace 100 pump. I snapped the impeller shaft when removing the impeller to clean. I can get a new pinwheel impeller for this pump, but I'd love to use the spare jebao dc3000 I have sitting around. Has anyone converted the dc 30.0 to...

What is the general consensus on age of a tank to add a clam? I'm running a 46 gallon zero edge with 2 ai vega color led about 12 inches above the tank. LED's are at 40% power. Tank has been running 4 months, but was heavily seeded from my old tank that was 6 years old. Nitrates 0 Nitrates 0...

I have two eheim Jager 10 heaters in my 46 gallon tank, 66 gallon with sump. Heaters are installed on two separate digital aquatics pc4 units, both on channel 1. One of my pc4's reads 1.6 amps when the heater is on, the other does not show an amperage reading, so that feature may be bad on...
